Nowadays, automatic extraction of man-made objects such as buildings and roads in urban areas has become a topic of growing interest for photogrammetric and computer vision community. Researches in this domain started from late 1980s and used quite different types of source images ranging from single intensity images, color images, laser range images to… (More)

Automatic extraction of objects from images has been a topic of research for decades. The main aim of these researches is to implement a numerical algorithm in order to extract the planar objects such as buildings from high resolution images and altitudinal data. Active contours or snakes have been extensively utilized for handling image segmentation and… (More)
